Celebrating women’s history month and reuse entrepreneurs, in this episode we speak with Anukampa Freedom Gupta-Fonner, Reusies 2021 finalist for Activist of the Year – and founder of Design by Freedom, an invention company propelling the circular economy and working to make trash history. Freedom is fully devoting her attention to designing a new way of getting groceries without all the waste: Her DC-based reuse grocery system, called Spring, will be launching this year. Join Freedom and host Brooking Gatewood as they discuss the power of supporting women’s leadership and the design challenges of changing one of the most fundamental parts of American society: how we get our food.
